How to: install Chatzilla as a stand alone program

Ok the only programs you'll need is Xulrunner and Chatzilla.
The requirements for Xulrunner can be found here.

The first thing you will need to do is download and extract the xulrunner to your desktop, from there open up terminal (Applications -> Accessories).
And then move the xulrunner to system location (effectively installing it)

Code:

sudo mv ~/Desktop/xulrunner /usr/share/

Then navigate to that directory in terminal

Code:

cd /usr/share/xulrunner

Then you need to register xulrunner.

Code:

./xulrunner --register-user
./xulrunner --register-global

Now comes the slightly more exciting part... Installing Chatzilla. Make sure you have downloaded chatzilla to your desktop.

Code:

sudo ./xulrunner --install-app ~/Desktop/chatzilla-0.9.76-xr.zip

Now navigate to where chatzilla has been installed.

Code:

cd /usr/lib/chatzilla

Now make everything readable and executable (because it doesn't by default).
